150 Blenheim Hill Road, Stamford NY - 3 bed / 3 bath - $449,000
This historic church from the 1830s has recently been restored and updated into a stunning three-bedroom, three-bathroom home. The large open spaces and abundance of original details give it an expansive loft-like feel, great for hosting and facilitating creative projects. Rustic finishes are punctuated by modern updates that include a new kitchen with high-end appliances and freshly renovated bathrooms. At the center of the kitchen is an 11-foot wooden island that was custom-built from a 170-year-old cherry tree, salvaged from the original ceiling beams. New kitchen features include a 36-inch Forno chef range, Bosch dishwasher, Liebherr fridge, pot filler, and custom Hauslane range hood. Flow through the open concept living room/kitchen space with cathedral ceilings and stained glass, to the large dining room with original four-panel wood doors. The main floor also features a full bath and a loft with a balcony that overlooks the space. Under the original steeple, you will find an entryway and a staircase that leads to the lower level, where there are three light-filled bedrooms, a family room, two more full bathrooms, a laundry nook, a coffee bar, a large storage closet, and a utility room. The primary bedroom has space for a king-sized bed, as well as a walk-through closet and an en-suite bathroom. Additional notable updates include new on-demand tankless combi boiler, new septic, electrical, and plumbing; new exterior French drain and basement waterproofing; new flooring and 18 new structural posts on the lower level; new egress windows; a new privacy fence; and a fire pit. It is situated on a quiet road in scenic Catskill farmland, but just off County Highway 10, which connects you to nearby villages of Stamford, Hobart, Bovina, Roxbury, Delhi, and Andes. Mine Kill State Park, Burnt-Rossman State Forest, Headwater Trails, The Catskill Scenic Trail, and the ski areas of Hunter, Windham, Belleayre, and Plattekill are all within a short scenic drive. All this could be yours and just under 3 hours from the GWB in NYC. If you have been looking for a grand space to do your art, music, dance, yoga, video, etc. This may be the spot you’ve been waiting for!
